(MnM) Character building help

[tecnowraith]

I need help for character building advice. I created a character that is an alien that could warp reality psionic-wise, since I could not find a good power (in mutants and masterminds) to do this with at character creation, I went with Illsuions instead. He is also a bit insane and wanted to have my power effect other people giving them mental stress and madness. The question is I am not sure which power flaw would do this or not. I am also not sure if Illusions would be an alternate to warp reality or a different power? Any Ideas or suggestions?

Having answered your other question all I can ask is what is wrong with the Spatial Control power on pg 99 of the M&M 2nd ed?
Seems to be what your after. Thing is M&M requires a bit of RPing to visual effects so take a look at that power and make up discriptions for the various effects

Yeah, I was not sure if Spatial Control would work or not, the way I was thinking.

Honestly what your describing is the Spatial Control power. Go with that and make it based in psionics.

Transform at 6pp/rank, any object to any object.
Area extra for +1pp/rank
Range=touch (area effect centered on self) -1pp/rank

=60pp for rank 10

+14pp for progression on weight = 50 million pounds
+6pp for progression on area = 5000 foot radius

Bam! you can shape everything w/in a mile of you however you like.

=80pp total! Shaping reality isn't cheap... and probably not much fun, either.

Thats not actually legal. You cannot buy progression on weight in this case since buying actual ranks ups the weight you are able to affect. If you wanted to up the weight at a cheaper cost, you should flaw additional ranks of transformation to only being weight increases.

Thanks for the replies and ideas guys, I have to read up some things and really decide which way to go.

why not use the magic power, just claim it is psionic based.

What you are describing is several different Powers all being to achieve a particular effect. For the madness I would use Confuse (Sustained: +2). For the warping I would use Spatial Control. I would also throw in some Illusion. Assuming a PL 10 game my Power Contruct might look something like this:

Confuse 10 (Sustained: +2, Dynamic)
DAP: Spatial Control: 15
DAP: Spatial Control 6 (Attack: +1, Perception: +2)
DAP: Illusion 6 (All Senses, Sustained: +1)
DAP: Blast 10 (Perception: +1, Indirect 2)
Total: 39 pp
